Pollok have games this Saturday and Wednesday next week ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wile E Coyote Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Almost all junior clubs would at least be willing to offer you a trial especially as pre-season training will be starting in a few weeks for some. I would contact the ones you are interested in playing for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falside Jag Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Be honest with yourself about your ability and contact the teams around you that would suit you best. I'm guessing that with that level of goals return you've been playing regularly. There's no point joining a team where it's unlikely you'll play. You'll become disillusioned and head back to amateur soon enough (seen it plenty). Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am sure he'll be playing junior next season just remember I replied to u 1st wellman n my team clydebank could do with a 50 goals a season man.

Falside Jag Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Not harsh at all. You're assuming that the assessment would be that he's not as good as he thinks he is. The lad might think to himself 'you know what? I'm actually really good and I know I can play at a really good level (obviously ruling Clydebank out) and get a game.' And good luck to him if he does. Don't have a meltdown about the Clydebank comment - just banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotlandfan Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi Wellman, If your serious I would certainly suggest get talking now. For others info he plays in the top division where there are a few ex juniors playing for Greenbank one is David Merriman CB so I would think he would be able to tell him if he's good enough. Pm if you want a contact or two? I'd start nearer the bottom than Clydebank/Pollok etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellman86 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Having watched several different junior teams within different leagues I think I could make a difference to a lot of they teams. Obviously the level I'm playing at just now isn't as high but having played against and spoke to a few ex juniors within the league it's something I'd like to give a go. Got a few teams messaged me so il do some training and take it from there. Hopefully all works out well, thanks everybody for there advice, much appreciated!
